Welcome

I'm located in Seattle, Washington and I'm available for private sailing lessons and instruction, yacht racing programs, or as a medical person-in-charge.

My work as a U.S.C.G. licensed captain and U.S. Sailing certified instructor is for fun, but I approach it with the utmost professionalism.

I have a professional career outside the maritime industry that keeps me busy. However, I make time to pursue my passion for the sea and sailing. You'll most often find me on the waters of Puget Sound or the Pacific Northwest coastline.
